I don't know why but this camera is one of the best cameras I have used. It can capture the moment when needed and for just a basic camera with nothing fancy, I think I get some GREAT pictures.
The zoom is a huge plus at a 6 optical. It has great shutter speed. The sport option is on of the better, can catch even the fastest of targets.

This is my first digital camera. The only problem I have is trying to see the picture in the veiw finder when its so bright outside. Could be a little bigger. The more I learn about it the better the pictures are. I am a begginer so have lots to learn..

The camera takes good pitures, but light is a big issue. If there is not enough light the pictures blur.

I love my digital camera for it's auto focus and built in zoom, however, I have the same complaint about it that I do about all digital cameras I've used...it takes too long for the camera to react after you've pressed the button! I miss lots of really great shots that way.

This is a good camera for day photos, closeups. Not a very good camera for moving objects, sports, or inside where a flash is needed. The focus isn't as crisp as it should be for flash photography. Seems that it can't focus well unless a lot of light is present.

The Fuji FinePix that I have is an okay camera, but I have a few issues with it. It's a low megapixel camera, so any photo print bigger than a 4x6 starts to show pixelation. It is acceptable in low light conditions, but by no means "great". I was very happy that it came with a optional lens hood / filter adaptor for 55mm filters. I also wish that it had a microphone to record sound for the video files.

I'm a very novice photographer - I just enjoy doing it. this is my second Fujifilm digital camera - my second digital camera, period. I really don't have anything to compare it with. I was looking for one that I wouldn't "outgrow" shortly, but not a professional one either. This one seems to fit that criteria, and I'm still learning about it.

This is a decent point-and-shoot camera. Has very few manual features unlike the higher-end models of this line, but it takes decent pictures. This was the camera between my Kodak digital and the Canon DSLR. Took much better pictures than the Kodak but a DSLR blows this away for features and flexibility.

I like this camera because of the clear pictures it takes, and that it is user friendly. Also for its design and the way it handles. I don't like the fact that it takes about a half second to focus your picture before snapping. This can be annoying if you're trying to take a photo of an action shot.

This was my first good digital camera. I bought it for the zoom, becuase none of my cheap little cameras had a good zoom. I used it until I started to need to enlarge photos. Then I realized I needed a much larger pixel. This is a good camera for a mom on the go... it is very light weight and everything can be reached with one hand. It is easy to use. My 5 year old now uses this camer more than I do.

I like the compactness, and the versatility of it. I have the ability to add lenses and filters without breaking the bank. It has an excellent battery life and I can take verbal notes to go with the image so I can organize the shots later.
What I don't like is the lag time between when I press the shutter release and the actual shutter time.
It makes taking action shots problematic, although I've overcome it by setting it for continuious shoot, when I know ahead of time that the shots are going to be fast moving.
